Walter Jantschik

ehemals Grossmeister derFraternitas Saturni

During the Fraternitas Saturni Lodge's Easter assembly on April 5th-6th 1969, members who had seceded from the Frankfurt F.S. (though without Walter Englert and his IO/O.T.O.), united themselves once more with the Mother-Lodge. Karl Wedler enthroned the new Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge Fraternitas Saturni: Walter Jantschik/Jananda (born November 9th 1939, 4°,
8°), who had been a member since April 1964. Jantschik was a
civil servant in the Ministry of Justice, wished to found an esoteric university within the F.S., which would confer qualifications of Doctor and Professor to those submitting a dissertation.

Jantschik resigned from his post six months after taking office, but remained on the board for the time being. He was followed in the autumn by the 40 year old Pole Wicha/Andrzey, who had only joined the F.S. half a year before, as Grandmaster of the F.S. — he had been accepted at the same Easter Lodge in 1969 where Jantschik became Grandmaster. A further indication of the farce into which this office had turned. Jantschik on his departure: "Why I resigned as Grandmaster was mainly due to intrigues from all sides, etc. Giovanni [Karl Wedler] wanted to be appointed as an honorary member, as did
his wife [...] Since my resignation from the F.S. in 1970/71 I had no more contact with this lodge." [Jantschik, letter of 2.3.1990]

A year after his appointment as Grandmaster, Jantschik was ritually initiated into the 18° with Margarete Berndt, Horst Kropp/Orpheus, and Hermann Wagner present.

On May 6th 1970 Paul-Günther Diefenthal who was a member of the F.S., shot Walter Jantschik's brother-in-law Josef Göttler, allegedly following the "orders of Baphomet". [Details in my books on the F.S.]

His interests broadened, and he became a member of the A.M.O.R.C., the Goden Order, Josef Grasser's Stephanios 'Loge Kether' in Paris, and AMOOKOS — under the alias of Aythos he wrote a booklet about the F.S. published in 1979, in Friedrich-Wilhelm Haack's collection of documents. Within the O.T.O.A. he wrote under the initials CCD in 1983, while in 1981 he had at first been Brother Antomedon, and later on used the title Levum in the Ordo Saturni, and as a member of Michael Aquino's Temple of Set. Before this in 1980, Jantschik had been a co-founder of the German branch of the 'Caliphate', where there were members of the Temple of Set — and formerly Scientologists as well. By 1989, now using the alias CIT, Jantschik became Baphometor in his Ordo Baphometis, and by the end of that year resigned from all the aforementioned orders, thenceforward focused on his O.B. only.

Baphomet–Lodge in Brasil

Myth: The central concept in F.S. lodges is that of the lodge Egregore (group spirit). GOTOS by name and created as a bust. This is also the highest rank in the F.S. (from 'Gradus Ordo Templi Orientis Saturni').
Truth: Johannes Maikowski, Grandmaster of the Fraternitas Saturni, appointed as successor by Eugen Grosche in December 1963, speaks with Peter-R. Koenig in August 2011.

Johannes Maikowski, member since 1950/1955 was appointed as his successor and Grand Master of the Fraternitas Saturni by Eugen Grosche in December 1963. He was re-elected by his own adherents in 1964/65. 1983 there was an election of a new Grandmaster by a competing F.S. which forced him to abandon the name of the lodge in the same year. So in 1993 he founded several lodges, for example the Communitas Saturni and the Grossloge Gregor A. Gregorius der FS in Kaiserslautern (GAG). There were dual memberships with the Ordo Templi Orientis and regular Freemasonry. Maikowski declared his own lodge foundations soon to be null and void. Yet, some of these lodges remain to exist. In 2003 the GAG united with the formerly competing Fraternitas Saturni in Berlin. Maikowski still continues to consider himself the only legitimate Grandmaster.
